Automatic motorcycle chain lubrication system

Have yet to install. Will update rating after.However, I'm sure it's ok, but any one else's come less than pictured oil? While I don't see a mess, there is oil around top of package.UPDATE (same day): I have yet to test it out since just started raining (and just washed bike). However, install went rather quick (2 hours for mechanical, and less than half an hour to wire it up to the PDM60. I have not programmed it yet. The most frustrating part is the semi-rigid (SR) tube. While semi-rigid, it's more rigid than not, complicated by trying to bend it the way you want, but it's like working with baby oil. You just can't get the solid wire, within the tube, surrounded by oil, to bend the right way. While it might look ok to the average joe, to me it was a hack of an install.I was NOT going to drill into the metal of the bike, but was close to doing so for the plastic chain guard. I was able to get away with using the two bolts on the chain guard. That was nightmare since the j clamps are not long enough. I had to drill them bigger and force the bolt through (semi stripped threads in process). I did not want to use any zip ties for the SR tube at the chain / sprocket end, but the clamps only hold the SR tube from moving front to back. They do NOT prevent the SR tube from twisting side the side and it was impossible to keep the SR tube over the chain without using a zip tie.I had many questions for support. I give them 5 stars for being open on the weekend, but only 3.5 stars for their understanding my questions. I would ask several numbered questions so there would be no getting what numbered question needed a response. And I'd get a generic response back that answered none of my questions. After several attempts, I got one of about eight questions answered. That was, if the loop has to be vertical, can it go horizontal. The answer was yes, but in the end I didn't have to go that way. Another unanswered question is if the device will be ok if mounted 90 degrees from what is pictured. I mounted it that way for best fit on my tiger 800. There's a little kink in the tube where it meets the CPU unit. I think it'll be ok.Speaking of 5 star service, I had an issue with leaking package upon delivery. They sent me replacement oil so again, I cannot knock their service. I think a big part of it is they are in Canada and the support staff are likely bi-lingual and things get lost in translation.Several pics of what I was going back and forth with tech about. I didn't put an inch from chain, but may do so later. I already had to make several cuts with new hack saw that just wasn't hacking too well, and now that all mounted, didn't want to try and get in there for half an inch more cut. Also read a review on biker world or something like that where reviewer said he got a little spray at speed when an inch away, so he put 1/2 inch away. Which is about where I am. Any suggestions on what to cut that with instead of a hack saw?Tip, I should have adjusted chain first! I have about an inch play which is roughly at the max limit of specs. I suspect when I got to tighten up chain, it will be even close to the tube. So do check chain tension before mounting. :-)Update 4/11/2016: After careful thought, I've upgraded from 4 to 5 stars. In part, I'm factoring in a very reasonable price in comparison to the Scott oiler at almost 3x the cost. Yes, the installation is painful, but not impossible. In the end, the product is quality, works well, and looks good too. For the future, I'd like to see the instructions for installation updated, programming instructions updated, more higher quality videos for installation and programming as well. And ideally, even if at an extra cost, have bike specific parts that aid in a less stressful installation.Again, overall, very happy with it.UPDATE 4/20/2016: Had slight hiccup in that I misunderstood instructions. Left yellow cap on the end of larger tube. Kit includes two clear caps which I thought were included as extras. However, they have a pin hole to allow the tube to breath. The yellow one does NOT. So mine stopped working but support cleared things up and it's been working fine now and no issues what so ever.Update 4/23/2016: Each day I'm having to clean oil off of rim & rubber. I've been reducing from 5 seconds, to 4, and today down to 2 seconds. And still, after 100 miles, oil on tires (I just cleaned too). I just set to 1 second, but I think it's just the Texas heat and unit can't adjust appropriately. Attached a few pics of tires and chain (flash and without flash).

Application: 2014 Suzuki DL1000A V-StromInstallation: The actual work is fairly simple, but figuring out a good layout of the components is a time-consuming puzzle. The oil reservoir tube needs to be sloped upward so as to not spill, yet it must be free from kinks and away from any damaging components (hot or sharp). A volt meter is recommended for the wiring, just to be certain that you are splicing into appropriate wires. Similarly, route wire with care. The tube that dispenses the oil onto the chain has an inner wire to retain shape. That wire perhaps a bit thicker than a coat hanger, to give a sense of its workability and what tools you should have on-hand to cut it (i.e. not side cutters intended for copper wire). The control unit location is then a compromise based on what makes every other component ok.On areas where it looked like the oil tube could become damaged, I covered it with a piece of heat-shrink tubing that I just happened to have on-hand. In a pinch, I suppose that electrical tape or such might also work.Operation: Keep the instructions or the supplied reference card available. While not complicated, changing settings requires a very specific sequence. I originally set it up for ~3 seconds and left it like that for 500+ miles. The chain looked clean and well-oiled, despite riding in some rainy weather. A small amount of oil was flinging off, so I tried to reduce the time and will re-evaluate.I am now near 1000 miles with the system and the oil consumption rate looks like it will allow refill intervals of 3000+ miles.Conclusion: This is not plug-and-play. You need to be ready to customize a DIY solution. If you are not scared off by that, then this can be used to keep your drive chain in optimal condition.

Wouldn't use on anything but a dirt bike or touring bike. Would not recommend on a street/racing bike.

Took some time and fiddling but got it on and it does good job of oiling chain. Very pleased with unit. Still need to clean chain so road dirt doesn't get built up on it.

Took about 6 hours to install, mostly figuring out how to run all the cables and tubing. Filled the tube, got oil everywhere even with a funnel because the oil doesn't go down the tube due to no air being able to escape. Turned it on, been riding for about an hour and no oil has come out yet. Will update review to 3 stars if I ever see oil.Update: The customer service seems to be quick. Which goes a long way with me. I still haven't gotten the oil to come out the rigid tubing, so stay tuned.Update: Got oil to come out after about 24 hours! Updated to 4 stars, although install was frustrating, it is working as designed and customer service was fast and very responsive which is a huge plus for me.
